Moleskin:
– Run Stopper delivered pain and creativity on his first saturday QIC experience. 60 merkins as part of a “warm-up”… hardcore… just sayin.
-The Shore’s lead was meant to give the pax a taste of the GoRuck Challenge. Hopefully 2 lessons were learned. #1 – we are all leaders, and may be called on to lead at any time. #2 – life isn’t always fair. Sometimes, some of us need to carry more of the load. The most important thing is that the team finishes together.
Pretty Boy QB shook off the “HS AP History, Oh crap I’ve been called on” look and survived just fine, leading the pax through a gut-wrenching 5 minutes.
-Cowboy mysteriously departed the gloom at 0740… what gives brother?
-The PAX was actually 24 men and 1 K-9… as Sparky’s dog served as a spectator/watchdog… maybe the Area 51 mascot?
-In the spirit of an old school workout, Joker, Tiger Rag and others arrived for the workout wearing outfits from the 1970s / 1980s. TR’s outfit was… well… let’s just say he might have been the seventh, less well known, member of the Village People. Strong brother… very strong, I think.
